RE: One complication is that I just loaded WP 3.6, so not sure if that has anything to do with it.
We always get a number of similar comments in this forum after each WordPress upgrade. It might seem an obvious conclusion but nevertheless it’s typically incorrect.

Not able to: this is a working site that we needed to have online.
We did a work around by replacing the date-type fields with text fields. This way it doesn’t matter what they put in the box.
It’s a terrible work around, but expeditious.
I started this thread so that the plugin authors are aware of the problem. They (or others) will need to recreate it. The date fields they are using are relatively new, and in our opinion, not working well in all browsers. I’m not sure what the code is written in, but something is not right.

Understand, I did NOT indicate that I believe that the WP 3.6 upgrade was at fault. Rather, it was a variable and needed to be included in any considerations.

Date field is not working in Safari as well as Firefox and Explorer. It only works in Chrome and Opera. Anyone have a fix for this yet, or do I have to use a text field for the date in the mean time?
Contact Form 7 has some Datepicker support via the new HTML5 date input type (see http://contactform7.com/date-field/) but this is currently only supported on some browsers – see http://www.wufoo.com/html5/types/4-date.html
Text field may your best option at this stage.

Yes, that was what we did. A little low-tech, but what can you do.
